The field is set for the 90th Indy 500. www.indycar.comThe front row looks tough to beat this year. Patrick qualified 10th the fastest in a Panzo chassis. Should be interesting, to see how the race works out. It will be a huge day of racing with the 500 and the 600. "Of course now the mainstream media is clamoring for a victory because they don't understand that Patrick is a road racer who had to become an oval-track specialist overnight and only has 20 starts. By comparison, it took Michael Andretti and Al Unser Jr. three years to score their initial Indy-car win." Robin Miller Fox Sports

this was a hell of a race! michael led with 4 laps to go. Marco with 1 to go, and Sam Hornish got him at the line.
i think with Marco and Danica this series can make a comeback.

It was a very good race. From what I've heard Kevin Kalhoven was spotted walking in the pits before the race. This means a merger between Champ Car & IndyCar could very well take place in the future.
Marco thought he had it won and lifted slightly coming out of turn four. He looked in his rear mirror and saw Hornish making way. He got back on it but IndyCars are all bout momentum - once you loose it its hard to get it back. Overall one of the best races Indy's had in the past 10 years. Hopefully next year we'll be able to see open wheel's best - from IndyCar and Champ Car battle it out. If the race was this good with only four competitive cars, I can only wish what it would be like with 33 competitive cars.
